Abstract: A Mixed-integer linear optimization model is developed to support the decision making for the sustainable use of energy in the local area. It details exploitation of primary energy sources, electrical and thermal generation, end-use sectors and emissions. The model covers both the energy demand and energy supply sides, and can provide valuable information both on the technical options, and on the possible policy measures. By aiming to realize a low-carbon energy system, the proposed optimization process provides feasible generation settlements between utility grid and distributed generations, as well as optimal diffusion of energy efficiency technologies. Moreover, the mathematical methods for solving the developed model are discussed. The focus is paid on the general solution method for mixed-integer linear optimization model including simplex algorithm and branch-and-bound algorithm. By using the suggested solution methods, the local energy system optimization problem is expected to be resolved in a reasonable time with enough precision. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract: A case study of the installation of a photovoltaic (PV) system as a potential clean development mechanism (CDM) project for a commercial building in China was performed by using a newly developed mathematical programming model. The model, which was developed to optimize the installation capacity of the PV system subjected to the constraints on electricity supply and demand balances, was adopted to carry out parametric surveys of PV investment and electricity price. The resultant calculations reveal that, in some cases, the PV system will be voluntarily introduced in China, and that the PV system can be certified as a CDM project with financial support by the investor country. In some combination of parameters, the value of CO2 emission reduction credit offsets the PV capital cost, although the shared allocation of economic profits yielded by the CDM project between the two countries greatly mitigates the restraints on the project, while at the same time qualifying it for the CDM.

Abstract: In this paper, five cases with various levels of carbon tax and electricity buy-back price for adoption of photovoltaic (PV) system were studied. An evaluation model, constructed in an optimization package LINGO, was employed to analyze the economic aspects of PV adoption. The results can be summarized as follows; 1) For a practical project, each case has its optimal PV capacity, considering the minimal annual energy cost and various constraints. 2) The introduction of carbon tax stimulates the adoption of PV system. However, the influence is relatively small. The optimal capacity has an increase of 0.4 kW with the adoption of carbon tax of 10 Yen/kg-C.3) Electricity buy-back price has a positive influence on PV adoption. With a price of 25 Yen/kWh, the customer prefers to adopt the maximal PV capacity limited to the available site area. However, as the price is reduced to 15 Yen/kWh, the economic attractive investment is between 0 to 1.3 kW.
